Why i cant install plugins?

Support
1

There is no possibility to install plugins. Just an empty list. Then I went to the folder, manually rewrote the plugin there, it appeared with the inscription “Network only”. What’s going on anyway? How do I install plugins?

What steps can be taken to replicate the issue? Feel free to include screenshots, videos, etc

Security Reminder
Local does a pretty good job of scrubbing private info from the logs and the errors it produces, however there’s always the possibility that something private can come through. Because these are public forums, always review the screenshots you are sharing to make sure there isn’t private info like passwords being displayed.

Is this a new, blank site that you created in Local @wire?

“Network Only” makes me think you might be working with a multisite install

Hello, Nick-B. I cant understand how i can use multisite, yes, this is fresh install, simple install, run, create project and this is what i got

I’m not sure I understand the workflow here. What type of plugin are you trying to add and how are you trying to add it? Is this a custom plugin?

Or are you going to the Add Plugins area of your WordPress admin dashboard and getting errors?

Yes. Simple, typical workflow, go to add plugin section - BUT where is no this section. When i go to folder wp-content/plugins and copy, for example, all in one migration plugin, go to admin - see “only network”…I simple delete local after that…i dissapoinment of local again…

Okay thank you for giving Local a try @wire - hopefully you can find something better suited to your workflow. If you circle back to Local at any point and still have trouble perhaps you could share some screenshots or a short video using Loom or similar so we can better understand what might be happening.

Now i try WP studio, looks ok, but in future i plan use local, if that work well
